When an event or experience is perceived as traumatic or very stressful by a person, it is recorded permanently in
the brain, often with life altering consequences. However, research from the field of neuroscience has shown us how
it's possible to modify the emotional aspect of a memory. It is easy to imagine that information received by the senses
can change our mood, thoughts and behaviour (for example; a piece of music, the smell of food or a hug), but most
of the time these changes are only temporary. Is it possible to use sensory input to effect permanent change within the brain?
the havening techniques is a psychosensory therapeutic method designed to change neural pathways within the brain to de-traumatise a distressing memory and permanently remove its negative effects from both mind and body.
Havening is a body-centric therapy where the human touch is required to trigger or get sensory input. 1. Recall the traumatic experiences. You can share them with the practitioner, but if it is too painful to express it in words, then you only need to think about it 2. To de-link the emotional stressor associated with traumatic events, havening touch is applied. This touch becomes the reason for the generation of delta waves in the brain. These waves set off electrochemical reactions which dissolve the encoded memory from the brain via reducing the receptor at the encrypted neural channel. 3.
These three components when applied alter the brain waves to allow for the receptor to become internalized and thus block any response. The details are in dr ruden’s book when the past is always present. The question of how havening touch affects the brain to produce this effect led to research on everything from traditional chinese medicine and their acupuncture sites to the neurobiology of traditional extinction techniques. This led to an understanding that all sensory input could affect the brain, and the field of psychosensory therapy was born. Through his research he created havening - meaning to take someone to a place of safety.

Havening 2021 increasing numbers of medics, therapists, bodyworkers, psychologists, counsellors, teachers, first-responders, self-development specialists, hypnotherapists, nlp practitioners, reiki practitioners, tft and eft practitioners, acupuncturists, sports and performance coaches are using havening in their work. They are training, learning about how these neurochemical processes work biologically, developing skills using havening touch® and havening techniques® and are becoming fully certified practitioners. Through the rudens' own continuing practice and the work of practitioners in many fields, we are learning that there are many uses for the techniques and huge potential.
